Scrivelsby, GB

St Benedict

The manor of Scrivelsby is held by a form of tenure which requires the performance of a service rather than a money payment, in this case as the Kings or Queens Champion. The duty of the King's Champion was to challenge anyone who doubted the new monarch's right to the throne. The Champion would throw down his gauntlet to prove he would fight to the death anyone who did.

St Margaret

Dedicated to St Margaret, this grade II* listed church has been constructed of greenstone, limestone and red brick to create a wonderful patchwork effect that catches the light beautifully in the setting sun.

All Saints

Following the wooded sign that points down a green lane, you emerge at the entrance to a field and the most spectacular view of All Saints church and the Lincolnshire Wolds hills, it is quite breathtaking.
